We are big fans of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power in this house. That goes for everyone including Andrew and myself. It is important that there be a show like this for both of my kids because of the content of the show. Women can be brave and powerful and men can be there to support and not just be the hero coming in to save them. The folks at DreamWorks sent me a special video with the cast of She-Ra and also the executive producer Noelle Stevenson that was made for International Women’s Day. I watched it this morning and hat to share it with both of the kids. It think it is pretty powerful. Take a look.
The video also features Aimee Carrero (Adora/She-Ra), Lauren Ash (Scorpia), Marcus Scribner (Bow), Karen Fukuhara (Glimmer), Merit Leighton (Frosta), and Krystal Joy Brown (Netossa). I loved the discussion of the young girls in the video and also how important it was that Bow was represented and discussed his role as a character in the show. That was important for Andrew to hear.
There is a much larger discussion to be had around this show and the themes and idea. Luckily I have a set of great activity sheets to stimulate discussion.
Download the .zip file to get all the activity sheets by clicking the image above. then watch some She-Ra on Netflix and have a great discussion.
